Ran across this site yesterday that was selling fully functional
helicopters for only $40!. Since I am a poor pilot, I can buy these
for practice purpose.

Wow that looks great. I'm spewing :( I paid $1000 for my helicopter:( I
must be an arse! :((((
Never mind at least I know where to find a helicopter that costs half the
price of a set of blades :)))) Do they need any upgrades to do piroflips?
I was doing some of them today with my helicopter and I can do them quite
close to the ground now (15-20 ft). I crashed one of my choppers today cos
when I made it go upside down, the engine got awfully slow and the tail
stuck in the ground when I tried to flip it back over :(((( BUT the good
news is that I only broke a tail fin because I was flying over a virtual bog
:)))) I straigtened out the flybar and flew it somemore :))))
Cheers
BTW i've had some beer.
Bye.
